Sennheiser to Exhibit Eight Decades of Professional Audio Technology at 2025 IBC Exhibition
At IBC 2025, held from September 11-15 at the RAI Amsterdam, the Sennheiser Group showcased a range of new audio solutions, including the latest addition to the MKH series - the MKH 8018 stereo shotgun microphone.
The MKH 8018, engineered for flexibility and durability in challenging environmental conditions, offers three switchable stereo modes, including MS stereo with step-free spatial imaging adjustment. This rugged, climate-proof RF condenser microphone provides broadcasters and filmmakers with versatile audio capture options.
Another highlight was the launch of the SoundBase Pro Audio App, designed to facilitate audio management and monitoring, enhancing the user experience in professional audio workflows. The app integrates with equipment from all major manufacturers, streamlining wireless coordination and centralizing communication.
Neumann, a part of the Sennheiser Group, also presented new launches at the event, although specific product details were not enumerated. The company showcased its range of studio monitors, including a new subwoofer, in a dedicated studio area. Visitors could also experience Neumann's new RIME plug-in, enabling immersive monitoring using NDH 20 and NDH 30 headphones, in a second demo area linked to the Neumann/Merging showcase.
The Sennheiser Group's exhibition emphasized integration across their product lines for professional media content creation, monitoring, and playback. Other demonstrations included the AMBEO 2-Channel Spatial Audio live renderer, which enables real-time rendering of immersive content into a stereo-compatible AMBEO format.
The KU 100 binaural head, a product of Neumann, was also available at the stand. The demonstrated interfaces, including the Anubis, have recently added OSC control capabilities for remote controlling fader moves and other parameter changes via third-party hardware controllers.
Sennheiser will also demonstrate SoundBase, a universal wireless audio management software, at specific times on the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of the show. Visitors can experience this technology embedded on a Merging ANUBIS device.
